Though they do show while they are pending/running, the SpiderMonkey shell builds don't show on tree=Mozilla-Inbound&usebuildbot=1 when they finish. http://tbpl.allizom.org/?tree=Mozilla-Inbound&rev=c8f38fb18c6a shows (or more precisely, will show in three to four hours, when Tinderbox catches up) a bunch of "SM(...)" builds, http://tbpl.allizom.org/?tree=Mozilla-Inbound&usebuildbot=1&rev=c8f38fb18c6a does not. Tinderbox is a lying liar, don't believe what it tells you about how long they take: typical actual times, not including the lag before Tinderbox reads its mail, are 15-30 minutes, so it can't be a 4+ hours problem. Since they're run off the same sort of not-quite-normal script instead of a more typical buildbot job, it could be the same thing as bug 676879, whatever that actually is.

These builds have a wrong branch set on them: "integration/mozilla-inbound" instead of just "mozilla-inbound".

Ok, we just need to make sure the branch property is set when the factory is created, rather let buildbot set it based on the source change.

This should fix up SpiderMonkey, Valgrind and Nanojit, based on a modified builder_list.py which looks for a branch property on each builder. The Nanojit isn't strictly required, because it doesn't have a tbpl setup, but it's developer facing so I've done it for completeness. We don't set a branch on hg bundles, fuzzing, or release builds.

This adds the variable that the buildbotcustom change needs. We don't actually use it for polling because it's a once-a-day scheduler, and could hardcode the value in custom if you prefer.

How can I reopen, if it's not closed?
